  Hmm, it still resolves for me, but nothing ever responds. The domain doesn’t expire for over a year still. Perhaps it’s just a transient issue?

  RTGs are still used for outer solar system missions. Not enough light for solar panels. Hell, even the Perseverance Mars rover, which was launched in 2020, has an RTG.

  proprietary Chinese company

  Gonna need a citation for this. Pretty sure they’re a privately-held US company.

  most places have a gate at the exit that only lets you leave by scamming your receipt

  That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don’t actually want to buy anything after all?

  that would very much wreak havoc with caching since you basically can’t cache pricing including sales tax as it depends on your very specific location.

  of course, for things like event tickets, it’s the venue’s location that matters for tax, so it works out to be a non-issue.

  I don’t want to see SNW on TV. I don’t think they’ll have to change the content directly, but they’d have to fit to the 42-odd minute runtime. We’ve had several episodes near and over an hour long. It’s very refreshing to see them making episodes as long as they need to be to tell the story.
